Details#

This integration uses pre-built, source-available components from Pipedream's GitHub repo. These components are developed by Pipedream and the community, and verified and maintained by Pipedream.

To contribute an update to an existing component or create a new component, create a PR on GitHub. If you're new to Pipedream component development, you can start with quickstarts for trigger span and action development, and then review the component API reference.

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
X Developer App (formerly Twitter)	`app`	`app`	This component uses the X Developer App (formerly Twitter) app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`

Trigger Authentication#

X Developer App (formerly Twitter) uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your X Developer App (formerly Twitter) account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to X Developer App (formerly Twitter) APIs in both code and no-code steps.

Video Tutorial on how to create and connect a Twitter Developer App to Pipedream

First, you'll need to sign up for a Twitter developer account and create a new application in the Twitter app dashboard

Register a new app on https://developers.twitter.com
Apply for a new Twitter app, be detailed about your use
After approval, create a new Standalone App
Copy the api_key and api_secret_key into a Twitter Developer App Account on Pipedream
Generate a new set of keys for your specific Twitter account
Paste the access_token and access_token_secret in the Twitter Developer App Account on Pipedream

Once you've created an app, visit the Keys and tokens section of the app's settings, and add the API key, API secret key, Access token, and Access token secret below.

Action#

Run Node Code on Node

Node Overview#

Develop, run and deploy your Node.js code in Pipedream workflows, using it between no-code steps, with connected accounts, or integrate Data Stores and File Stores

This includes installing NPM packages, within your code without having to manage a package.json file or running npm install.

Below is an example of installing the axios package in a Pipedream Node.js code step. Pipedream imports the axios package, performs the API request, and shares the response with subsequent workflow steps:

Action Code#

import node from "../../node.app.mjs";

export default {

  props: {
    node,
  },
  type: "action",
  methods: {},
  async run({
    steps, $,
  }) {
    // Return data to use it in future steps
    return steps.trigger.event;
  },
};
